FAQs

Hydro excavation uses pressurised water to break up soil, which is then safely removed by a powerful vacuum system. This non-destructive method is ideal for projects where precision is key, such as exposing underground pipes, cables, or conduits without causing damage. It’s a safe and efficient alternative to traditional digging.
